On April 2, the Alaska Republican Party sent out a press release saying that in light of the charges being dropped against Ted Stevens, “current Senator Mark Begich should resign his position to allow for a new, special election.” That same day, Gov. Sarah Palin (R) said, “I absolutely agree” when asked about the Alaska Republican Party’s request. However, yesterday in a press conference, Palin tried to backtrack:

“I didn’t call for Begich to step down, either,” Palin said. “I said I absolutely agree that Alaskans deserve a fair, untainted election for the United States senate seat. I’m not splitting hairs on how that happens. I’m saying wonderful, good. I want to see an election that is fair, that isn’t influenced unduly by some announcement that the sitting senator was facing a multi-felony count conviction. That’s what we were told. Now, come to find out, that wasn’t the case.”

However, if Palin supports a new special election, by state law, Begich “would have to step down.” That process would temporarily leave Alaska with just one active senator. Nevertheless, Palin yesterday insisted that she wasn’t “splitting hairs on how a new election should happen.”

EXCELLENT COMMENT FROM THE LINK:

Quote:

Sen. Stevens was not exonerated from the corruption charges. The conviction was overturned due to prosecutorial misconduct. With some of evidence tainted, the charges were dropped. That is not the same thing as a jury finding Sen. Stevens not guilty. The stench of corruption still hangs over Sen. Stevens head

He's as guilty as OJ. And she's a freaking idiot. There is no reason on earth the other senator should step down and unless the people of Alaska are as stupid as Sarah, I'm fairly sure that Stevens won't get elected again. He's ADMITTED to a ton of the charges against him. How do they explain that away?

Palin's an idiot. I figure we won't be rid of her until she tries to run for pres and loses, then we will have to deal with a few more years of her whining because people didn't take her seriously, then MAYBE we can get a break...

Did Sarah Palin leave Hawaii because there were too many Asians? In the New Yorker review of "Going Rogue," Sam Tanenhaus writes that Palin's father suggested as much to the reporters who wrote "Sarah From Alaska." ...But Palin's father, Chuck Heath, gave a different account to Conroy and Walshe. According to him, the presence of so many Asians and Pacific Islanders made her uncomfortable: "They were a minority type thing and it wasn't glamorous, so she came home." ...

She must want everyone to hate her. Makes it more of a challenge on doing that presidential bid for a hoot.

She's so dumb, I really cannot take her seriously. That's not to say our country doesn't love dumb leaders, but I can always hope she, being dumb, annoying and now racist, won't even be considered.

The Dummies really like her...she's "one of them", rather like George W. Bush was, although the dummies were and are so dumb, they can't fathom that the only way Bush was/is like them was/is in brain power...Bush is gone, but he's been replaced by Bush in Skirts. I don't ever underestimate the power of the dummies. Most of them are racists and extremely religious...and they will vote for anybody against Obama.
